sons for Making Them.
There seems to be decided misunder
standing concerning the intentions Of the
postoffice department with reference to the
changes in the series of adhesive stamps
writes the New York Suns Washington cor
respondent. Maj Howard, chief Of the
stamp division of the department, says that
the only change Of any kind in the detached
stamps will be in the 2 cent stamp. This is
at present metallic red About the middle
of September all those issued from the de-
partment will be green. The reason for this
change is that, until the minimum rate of
letter postage was reduced to cents, the
color of the stamp most generally used,
namely, the three-cent, was green, and the post
office officials think that that color gave more
general satisfaction to the public than any
other. 1t was the intention of tho depart
ment to make numerous other changes in the
colors of adhesive stamps at the same time
that the change in the twocent variety is to
go into effect but it was found that the con-
tractors have large supply of the current
series on hand and if the colors are ordered
changed ut once, it will entail a serious loss
upon them. For this reason the changes con-
templated will be ordered as fast MS the sup
ply of each denomination is exhausted.
The following changes in the impressed
stamps on stamped envelopes have been or
dered to go into effect us soon as the contrac-

in the Scent stamp. In this case the adhe-

while the impressed stamp on the 5-cent en-

One of the reasons which led to the deter.

rivalry now existing among all nations by
which each is trying to put out the most

After the jOctlar form of jumping in
60 the chasm went out of fashion the
matter-of-fact proposal had turn, as
an instance of which may be mentioned
the case of the individual who made an
offer of marriage in the following unro-
mantle manner: "You stitch very nice
ly; would You like TO darn my stock
ings?''
From the matter-of-fact il was easy
to slide into the business-like form, in
which clear statement was made of
the advantages likely to be gained by
the proposed alliance and an almost
brutality plain view of the facts pre-
sented. At this period certain cler-
gyman is declared on good authority to
have deliberately added the following
to his offer of marriage: 81 would have
you consider, before you say no, first,
whether You ever had proposal made
to you before; secondly, whether it is
likely you will ever again have one

least discussed, it is yet possible. by the
Use of judicious means, TO obtain liz
this connection accurate information
of circumstantial nature. Under
favorable circumstances men have been
known TO reveal interesting personal
experiences-diSguised, of course, rs
some other fellow s''-and from such
revelations it would seem that the pres
ent era might be characterized as that
of ''languid" proposals. Instead of
frantically dropping on his knees or
gasping out an offer in the midst of the
polka's giddy whirl, Adolphus idly
lounges beside his Clara, and, as the
fumes of their Turkish cigarettes annie
ably mingle, suggests, with an air of
languor: Suppose we-er-always
smoke together?" Clara. with equal
sang-froid, admitting that sit might be
a good idea"
IAN instance of the languid propo-
sal is said to have occurred not long
ago in New York, when, as the story
runs, a society youth, more remarkable
for wealth than wit, and victim of
AnglOmania, remarked to a young
woman, at the close of a ball: Il in
